Yan Heqing awakens.

One second before signing the substitute contract.

It turns out he was a substitute cannon fodder in a book.

In the story, he served as Lu Muchi’s substitute for Bai Yueguang for three years.

He was slapped by Lu Muchi’s little lover he held in his arms, sent by Lu Muchi to seduce a competitor and almost forced, and had his neck choked by Lu Muchi almost to death.

He l**ked and groveled willingly, enjoying it, and fell deeply in love with Lu Muchi.

In the end, he voluntarily donated his eyes to exchange for Lu Muchi’s Bai Yueguang—his twin brother’s brightness.

He and his twin brother were abandoned and sent to an orphanage since childhood. He gave up the opportunity to be adopted by a wealthy family for his brother, who became a pampered young master.

He was adopted by a childless couple, and after a year of relatively peaceful life, his foster parents miraculously had a son, plunging his life into hell.

Encountering Lu Muchi was the executioner of his life. Lu Muchi couldn’t get what he wanted from his brother, so he chose him as a substitute.

His foster parents saw the money, happily sold him to Lu Muchi.

Under Lu Muchi’s mental and physical ab*se, he fell in love with Lu Muchi due to Stockholm Syndrome.

In the end, he sacrificed his last remaining value—his eyes—for his protagonist brother and was hit by a car while trying to save another protagonist, Lu Muchi. His life ended at 21.

What kind of joke is this?

Yan Heqing’s has begun his hunting.

His Abusing foster parents’ family.

His love-brained brother who took away his eyes.

And—

Lu Muchi, who trampled on his dignity, destroyed his dreams, and took away his life.

……

He will not let anything go.

His eyes, dignity, dreams, and life, he will reclaim them all.

I never write review, this is my first time so bear with me. First off, I was reading in the chine website with online translations so the number of pages were longer so I don't know exactly how many of the actual chapters I read, but I might have completed around 196 pages of the 284 page book (I am planning on finishing it, I will update if my mind changes)

I likes the book, at first. The reason I have a problem is the novel or the characters, rather... more>> it is the author. I loved the MC and ml. The MC is a survivor. He survived ab*se and rebuilt his whole life without going back to his scum lover of the previous life. He is independent and does not depend on the ML to get his revenge. I loved that. After reading so many books where the MC goes back to the ab*ser, this was a breath of fresh air.

Moving on to the things I didn't like. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, falls in love with the MC. They fall for his looks and cold and indifferent personality. Even if the person hates him, in a few chapters, they start to fall for him and think of him day and night. It just feels forced in my opinion. Also if you love novels where the MC and the ML are overpowered you might love this book. I just felt like the MC was too perfect. He is a top student, gets up at 6am everyday, top class bar tender, a great cook, absolutely gorgeous, great at playing games, learns everything the first time and on top of it everyone loved him. I felt like if I was the twin brother who is the villain here (I haven't read the full novel yet, so take my words with a pinch of salt) I would have felt jealous too. Like imagine you have a loving family and great friends and someone comes along who just does everything better and everyone who liked you and your long term crush too falls for him. The family loves both the twins equally though. What the twin did was harassment to the ML eg. Keep on going back even after he said no, so I wont dispute that, and he wasn't a good guy in his previous life, but man, everyone needn't fall for the MC you know?

In the end, this is just my opinion, you can give the book a try, it is a great novel compared to some of the tr*sh lying around. If I change my mind about the 3 star rating in the future, I will update it. <<less

Truly a Gem!! This isn't the typical "substitute" story, MC doesn't allow to ML to take actions on his behalf, everything/mostly is through MC's effort, on 1st half. The narrative is exceptionally crafted, delving deep into its characters and rendering them to have 3D personality. The love story is also not abrupt. The author's skill stands out as she vividly portrayed the contrasts and comparisons: in the bookstory & the current events, as well as the MC and his brother. While the MC grapples with hardship, his twin experiences love and affection. It will really break ur heart seeing those scenes. However, the MC is calm and doesn't feel envy. While his twin due to being spoiled can't stand his inferiority despite having everything.

Anothrt thing that captivates me is the unpredictability of the MC's actions, as I don't know his true goals and thoughts. The MC's mastery in orchestrating events is truly commendable. Even when faced with challenges to his plans, he exhibits remarkable adaptability and resourcefulness.

PS. Conflicted about the ending of the storyline. Probably due to my own preference. On the other hand, wish for more extra of "ifs"
Spoiler

I feel bad to MC's brother. That brother is spoiled and selfish but this is NOT a rebirth. But this could be a parallel world. I hope MC allowed or convinced his brother to treat his eyes at the end. But reading the extra chapters of "sunrise", I don't know anymore..

This a fluffy little story hidden behind revenge. Description of the novel is accurate and as is. The first half is more on the steps Heqing (MC) took to take revenge on his previous life while the latter half became more mellow with the addition of the romance and the revenge nearing its end.

I would say I love this one as the first chapters really took me in, to the extent I stayed up late even though I have class the next day. The revenge theme is really there and... more>> Heqing is meticulous with his plans that I admire his methods. It's a revenge well done.

The romance is also cute! It started out real slow as there's other intentions hidden behind it but it's great. They gradually learned to trust and love each other. The romance is actually also a selling point to me.

The ending and extras are good and executed nicely. I didn't expect some of the extras to be so cute, especially the if's scenes. Overall, I recommend this to everyone intrigued by it. <<less

Five stars. The first few chapters give an impression of a cardboard story about rebirth and revenge, with typical s*upid villains, a highly intelligent, highly capable MC, and a cold & distant ML who has zero personality outside of work. Surprisingly, rather quickly this impression is proved to be incorrect. Instead, the story shows us how with a lot of patience, hard work, and some luck a person manages to extract himself from a horrible situation. Dispite willingly isolating himself from others, Yan Heqing's kindness and readiness to invest... more>> his best efforts in everything he does wins him the respect and appreciation of most people who come in contact with him. <<less

I read this with MTL, and it's readable. This story has the most 3D, realistic characters ever. Their emotions feel so real, and I genuinely rooted for them while reading. Very underrated novel, the pacing was well done and I read it all in one night.

I love how smart and capable the MC is, how he uses his knowledge of the future to change his fate. He isn't completely OP either. His changes cause butterfly effects, leading to some characters appearing earlier than expected. The ML is definitely OP, yet... more>> he doesn't interfere with MC's plans. He lets MC do his own thing, allowing him to get his own, personal revenge. All while monitoring and protecting him safely. I love that ML doesn't intrude on MC's boundaries, he realizes that MC has trauma. ML knows that MC approached him with hidden intentions at the start, and yet he still came to love him. Their relationship is so soothing to read about. They both don't state things too explicitly, especially at the start, and yet I could feel the level of care they have for each other.

That's another thing I really appreciate about this novel. It's the level of care that the author put into the details of the story. There's a lot of repeating items that appear in the story, such as the song Wellerman, the Lake Balkai, fishing, etc. The echoing of these elements really made the novel a lot more captivating and unique. Not only that, the author was able to describe the events in the story extremely well. It was as if I could visualize the movements of MC on a map.

I really encourage you to read this novel if you want something a bit angsty, sweet, and with satisfying face-slapping. This is one unique gem. <<less

Emotionally driven, great romance, epic revenge story.

MC all that suffering came back and his Rebirth was epic, he's schemes against all his enemies , his white eye little brother, the most scum gong in the original novel. Sending them to hell one by one. He's always look handsome attracting all attention. He's genuinely nice, but he will never forget to calculate all those who seek to harm him

ML 12 years older MC, always cold on the surface. But he's warm to his friends and mum. Ofc family issues in wealthy... more>> families. But once he spice it up with MC. The chemistry explodes

ML is so powerful but MC will do every plan himself. This was interesting to read because MC playing mind games so well.

Enjoy this novel and MCs epic revenge <<less

MTLed all the way!!! But would love to read it again with a nice translation.

All I can say is that everyone is like crazzzy, the MC's twin brother, the abusive ML's nephew (which is the first ML od the first timeline)

The ML is also quite possessive. MC omaygaaddd MC, I cried. He finally had a happy ending. He was so pitiful during the first timeline. Omg for the ab*sed and the head of everyone full woth water in the first timeline.

But MC is so good when he plotted everything.... more>> His suffering starts with his twin brother, everything because of him. Haysssss good riddance, I tried to sympathise with his twin brother, but can't in the end.

I really like the endings of all the villains they deserve it! Deserve!!! <<less

The story isn't bad but isn't good. The plot is getting dragged too much. I think this novel actually can finished around 80s chapter. But the author decided to make the story plot progressing slow. I finished reading this novel around one or two months because I'm getting bored by the plot sometimes. From what I remember, the ML even start to like MC from around chapter 70s. And that means so many times (chapters) got wasted.

The villain is MC twin brother. But he is so s*upid. His character is... more>> someone who is innocent but like to make trouble for others and clueless + spoiled. The ML too repeatedly getting "harassed" by him but all he done is nothing. I mean if someone I don't like is always disturbing me, I will ofc take action. But the ML did nothing. Even though the villain likes to call ML phone with different phone numbers, send things and make a fuss in ML office, etc.

Spoiler

The one who made MC parents died is MC biological twin brother
